Pocket Offices: What They Are and Why You’ll Love Them

March 3, 2022

Do you like the idea of working from home, but don’t want to give up the convenience and privacy of an office? Have we got good news for you! McArthur Homes offers pocket offices in all of our floor plans in the new homes at Rockwell Ranch that are conveniently located right outside of booming Lehi, UT. So what exactly is a pocket office? Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about this growing trend.

What is a Pocket Office?

A pocket office is a smaller, more compact version of a traditional home office. Pocket offices are becoming increasingly popular in new construction homes, and it’s not hard to see why. A pocket office gives you the convenience and privacy of working from home without having to give up the functionality of an office. Plus, it’s a great place to hide away some of your holiday decorations during the off-season.

At Rockwell Ranch, every floor plan has the option for a pocket office, which is just one of the many amenities offered when you choose McArthur Homes!

Why You’ll Love Having a Pocket Office in Your New Home

First, they provide a convenient place for you to work from home without taking up valuable living space in your house. Many people are working from home nowadays and it is important to have the space and privacy to work.

Second, they’re a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. If you need to take a break from the kids or just want some peace and quiet, the small office could be a great place to hide away.

Last, but not least, they’re a great place to store things! If you have seasonal items or just need some extra storage space, the pocket office is a great place to put those things.

How Big is A Pocket Office?

Pocket offices are usually about a quarter to half the size of a home office. This is increasing due to various factors, including the shrinking size of technology. Many people went from working on large PCs the size of cinder blocks to working on laptops or tablets that you can hold in one hand. Nowadays you don’t need the space of an entire home office for your daily work.

If you’re looking for new homes in the Lehi, UT area that have pocket offices, look no further than McArthur Homes! Our new homes at Rockwell Ranch offer this convenient and functional feature in all three of our floor plans.
